In the weeks after the election, the details in Steeles dispatches remained secret, and I spent weeks trying to determine if any of the allegations could be substantiated. The claim that Cohen met secretly with Russians seemed to be one of the tales that might be confirmable. I took a stab at that. While pursuing that angle, I called Cohen. He insisted that there had been no trip to Prague and that he had met with no Russians during the campaign.
This week I reviewed my notes from that phone call. Heres the direct quote from Cohen: I havent been to Prague in 14 years. I was in Prague for one afternoon 14 years ago.
Whats notable? In that conversation, Cohen acknowledged he had once been to Praguebut a long time ago. In his recent denial, Cohen, whose home and office were raided last week by FBI agents seeking records related to the Stormy Daniels case and other matters (including taxi medallions), asserted he had never been to Prague. How significant is this discrepancy? There is no telling. But it is an inconsistency. Cohens lead lawyer could not be reached for a comment.
